Abstract
Educational institutions are the origin of socialization and its second environment. It is full of public education contents to
be offered to people of society in all scientific and knowledge fields, especially physical and sport education as it is a part
and parcel of education as it aims to build young people psychologically, physically, socially and ethically. Physical and
sport education encourages all of us to be more interested in the youth and their various talents and provide suitable
atmosphere for them and their hobbies in addition to provide them with suitable possible equipments and preparations to
practice all activities that enable to form and develop individual personalities. Among those students, there are students of
the third secondary stage who reached their last educational stage and are ready to face practical life and choose their
professional careers future after joining higher education.

INTRODUCTION:

Problem of the Study:


Attitudes are among important fields in social psychology in general and sport psychology in particular. The aim of practicing
physical and sport activity currently is cognitive, kinetic and physical formation of students to be efficient in future who is able to
practice activities for others with multiple ways and in a serious way, so he will be ready for submitting this activity (such as a job)
with convenience. To determine secondary students attitudes towards physical and sport activities in the future, a variable sample
was chosen from all sections of Mohamed Al Sherif Ben Chebira Secondary School at Bu Saada with 93 members (statistical units) of
males and females and from five sections, so both researchers summed up the problem of the study in the following:
1- Are there statistically significant differences between males and females in the same section in psychological attitudes of the
third secondary stage students towards physical and sport education activity as a future job?
2- Are there statistically significant differences between males and females in all sections in psychological attitudes of the third
secondary stage students towards physical and sport education activity as a future job?
3- Are there statistically significant differences between males and females among various sections in psychological attitudes of
the third secondary stage students towards physical and sport education activity as a future job?
Psychological Attitudes:
Definitions may vary according to variation of psychological schools, but there is a linking line between all definitions. In addition,
the word attitude is derived from the word aptitude which means readiness. This means that attitude takes the meaning of
readiness to make an action, but both words soon separated as aptitude became representing readiness in terms of muscular and
mental abilities, while attitude took other meaning falls generally within being an acquired strength that makes individuals act in
their own way.
Thomas, W. definition: Attitude is a mental state towards value.
Mead, H. G. definition: Attitudes are an organized set of responses.
Allport. G. H. comprehensive definition: Attitude is an organized mental and nervous position through experience and it has a
direct or dynamic effect on individuals responses towards something.

It is an educational activity or what is called: physical and sport education lesson. In addition, there is competitive training which is
a set of supplementary internal and external exercises. Physical and sport activity is like physical and sport activities practiced inside
the educational institution in secondary education stage including competitive and non-competitive sport tournaments inside and
outside the institution by teachers of institutions itself and especially by the related group of external school sports.
Secondary Education:
Secondary education stage is the stage that follows all types and branches of basic education. This stage is simultaneous with
adolescence age according to classification of psychological growth stages as this division is identical to the educational system with
stages of a persons growth.
Adolescence:
The term adolescent is derived from the noun adolescence which is the period between the end of childhood and the beginning of
adulthood. Thus, an adolescent is considered a child and not an adult. Rather, he lies in the effective strength field of combined effects
and expectations between childhood and adolescence in its accurate meaning being the stage that leads persons to full maturity for
males and females as it extends from adulthood till puberty.

M ETHODOLOGY OF THE S TUDY :

The current study is based on the descriptive method because, as said by researcher Abdelhady, this type of research has special
importance in the field of humanistic studies especially as it is used to explore peoples opinions and attitudes towards a certain
situation and is also used to determine a specific issue related to a certain group or category of people. Actually, this study adopts
opinions and attitudes of an important category in society (third secondary stage students) about their future ambitions towards this
vital activity, but using comparison in terms of some variables of the study.
Sample of the Study:
The sample is a subgroup of elements of a certain research (6 elements) and the current sample is represented according to the
following limits:
Space limits: Mohamed Al Sherif Ben Chebira Secondary School at Bu Saada at Al Msila State.
Time limits: The study was conducted in April, 2014
Human limits: The study was approved for the final third secondary year for 2013 / 2014. Population of the study consists of about
450 units. 93 respondents were studied throughout a normal school day from all classes of society, males and females, with the
following characteristics:

Tool of the Study:


The current case study used a questionnaire prepared by the researchers with its psychometric characteristics (see annex No. 01at the
end of the sudy):
A. Reliability: it is shown by dividing the questionnaire, as correlation coefficient after length adjustment was 0.89 which is a
strong degree.
B. Validity: Internal consistency among items of the questionnaire was clear as mutual correlation coefficients ranged between
0.68 and 0.78 so it can be said that the questionnaire is reliable and valid.

values 0.01 and 0.05 which is statistically insignificant.
B. Explaining results of table (17) and (18):
There are statistically significant differences between sections with variable trends. First, the literary section which is similar to
religion specialization and the last one is electrical engineering whose students like scientific and technical specializations. However,
there is a strict trend by mathematics students to perform this activity in future for it contains euphoria, activity and renewal as well as
economical and health benefits which was noticed by the researchers in some sample members from mathematics section.

D ISCUSSING R ESULTS

Questions of the study:


1- Are there statistically significant differences between males and females in the same section in psychological attitudes of the
third secondary stage students towards physical and sport education activity as a future job?
2- Are there statistically significant differences between males and females in all sections in psychological attitudes of the third
secondary stage students towards physical and sport education activity as a future job?

3- Are there statistically significant differences between males and females among various sections in psychological attitudes of
the third secondary stage students towards physical and sport education activity as a future job?

And the study concluded that:


-

-
-
-
-

There are statistically significant differences between males and females. Males in experimental sciences section hold more
positive psychological attitudes than females towards physical and sport education as a future job.
There are statistically significant differences between males and females. Males in experimental sciences section hold more
positive psychological attitudes than females towards physical and sport education as a future job for the sake of males in
Arts & Philosophy.
There are no statistically significant differences between males and females in their psychological attitudes than females
towards physical and sport education as a future job for the sake of males in Management & Economics section.
There are no statistically significant differences between males and females in their psychological attitudes than females
towards physical and sport education as a future job in Mathematics section.
There are statistically significant differences between males and females in their psychological attitudes than females
towards physical and sport education as a future job for all sections.
There are statistically significant differences between males and females in their psychological attitudes than females
towards physical and sport education as a future job for different sections.
C ONCLUSION :

studying secondary education sample attitudes towards adopting physical and sports education activities as a future job showed that
males in many sections tend to perform this job that is seen by many as for males. This does not mean that there are no females. The
most shared section is Arts and Philosophy followed by mathematics. Despite their small values, they showed positive trends towards
the activity as a future job, so it is better to follow these trends in other secondary schools to ensure these results and remains the
question:
Are students in other secondary schools hold the same attitudes towards this activity as a future job?
